William Stanley Jevons FRS (/ ˈ dʒ ɛ v ən z /; [2] 1 September 1835 – 13 August 1882) was an English economist and logician.. Irving Fisher described Jevons's book A General Mathematical Theory of Political Economy (1862) as the start of the mathematical method in economics. [3]
The front page quotes the motto of J. Willard Gibbs: "Mathematics is a language."The book begins with this statement: The existence of analogies between central features of various theories implies the existence of a general theory which underlies the particular theories and unifies them with respect to those central features.
Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization .
